The Nose Knows

It's been a rough week.

Lauren has been suffering from a terrible cold for 10+ days now. We kept her home from daycare Thursday, Friday and Monday. Sunday we took her to the walk-in clinic so the doctor could check her ears for infection. They were fine.

Tuesday she went back to daycare even though she still was not herself.

Then to add injury to illness, Wednesday night she tripped and was not able to get her hands out to stop herself and landed square on her nose! There was blood and screaming and the whole thing was traumatic for all of us. We debated taking her to the ER, but decided to put her to bed and re-evaluate in the morning. The next day she went to daycare but her nose was obviously tender. I took her to the doctor that afternoon. The doctor was confused... did kids this age even have bones in their nose to break? Apparently they do not. Her nose was fine. While we were there I asked if she could check her ears again - turns out they were both infected! She is now on 10 days of antibiotics and is feeling much better. Oh and to make things even more exciting, one of the kids at daycare has pink eye. Now wouldn't that be the trifecta of awesomeness?

This is what happens when dad is in charge

Step 1: change diaper
Step 2: DO UP ONSIE
Step 3: Put on pants

When you reverse steps 2 and 3 this is the result.

The Heir and the Spare

Now before you get too upset, remember, I am the third child in my family - so neither the Heir nor the Spare and look how totally normal and unbothered I am about that.

Baby Young 2 is coming!



Okay yes, these pictures are totally crappy, but you get the idea. There is a baby. In there. And it`s going to come out. Probably on or around August 7, 2012.

Somehow as of today I am 13 weeks pregnant which was wonderful news considering we thought I was 9 weeks. So in one day I burned through almost a full month of pregnancy. I could not be happier!

Once again, this pregnancy has been difficult. Though our perception is different. Norm keeps saying ``I don`t remember you being this bad last time.`` Gee, thanks. I on the other hand think it was definitely worse last time - though this time has been no walk in the park.

Either way, the world better prepare itself for yet another Young baby. They are cute, they are crazy and now there are going to be two of them!
